Abstract
Although heterosis is commonly used in Chinese cabbage, its molecular basis is poorly understood. In this study, 16Chinese cabbage hybrids were utilized as test subjects to explore the potential molecular mechanism of heterosis. RNA sequencing revealed 5815–10,252 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (female parent vs. male parent), 1796–5990 DEGs (female parent-vs-hybrid), and 2244–7063 DEGs (male parent vs. hybrid) in 16 cross combinations at the middle stage of heading. Among of them, 72.83–84.20% DEGs conformed to the dominant expression pattern, which is the predominant expression pattern in hybrids. There were 13 pathways in which DEGs were significantly enriched in most cross combinations. Among them, the plant–pathogen interaction (ko04626) and circadian rhythm-plant (ko04712)were significantly enriched by DEGs in strong heterosis hybrids. WGCNA also proved that the two pathways were significantly related to heterosis in Chinese cabbage.
